Guide
Approach and anchoring
Enter between the sand spits that shift with each winter storm; latest SHOM survey or local knowledge essential. Shallow bar at the entrance, best approached near high water. Sand bottom throughout. Shelter from N through E and from W to NW, fully open to the SE swell rolling up the estuary.
Practical
No mooring infrastructure, anchor only. La Palmyre harbour sits 1.1 NM east inside the bay. La Tremblade marina is 5.9 NM NE up the Seudre for full services, fuel and water.
Ashore
Forêt de la Coubre pine forest borders the bay; walking trails link to the Phare de la Coubre at 2 km. Beach of Bonne Anse stretches along the south shore. Zoo de la Palmyre lies 1.5 km east of the inner anchorage.
